Exploring issues ranging from the metaphysical to the moral and
legal, a team of esteemed contributors bring together some of the
most important and cutting-edge findings in experimental philosophy
of the self to address longstanding philosophical questions about
personal identity, such as: What makes us today the same person as
our childhood and future selves? Can certain changes transform us
into a different person? Do our everyday moral practices presuppose
a false account of who we are? Chapters offer a survey of recent
empirical work and foster dialogue between experimental and
traditional philosophical approaches to identity, covering the
moral self, dual character concepts, true self, transformative
experience and the identity conditions collective entities. With
novel experiments and thought-provoking applications to practical
concerns including law, immigration, bioethics and politics, this
collection highlights the value and implications of empirical work
on personal identity.
